ILast week the Fremont Republi
cans met in Convention and nominated
General Fremont for President, and Gen.
Cochrane (the present Attorney-General
of New York, elected last fall by the Re
publicans,) for Vice President. We copy
as much of the report of the Convention
as we have room for. The platform con
tints' some very good, things, and some
very bad ones;, but . the candidate is
worst.
Fremont's resignation of his commis
sion in the army has been made, (and ao
oepted,) with a view, we suppose, of ena
bling him to devote his whole energies to
the political campaign. If Lincoln won't
let Fremont fight Davis, why Fremont
will fight Lincoln. SuCcess to the "Kil

This week the Lincoln Republicans
meet at Baltimore to nominate Lincoln.
The platform and candidate will be some
thing like the above—only more evasive
and more of the "worst."
Next month the Democrats will meet
in Chicago to nominate their man, and
make a white man's platform.
The Chicago candidate will be elected.

As to the character of the "Beast," so
called in the polite literature of the day,
we appeal to the testimony :
J. F. Whipple, a hatter, doing business
in New York, was sworn before a select
committee to inquire into' the contracts of
the government, and detailed a transac
tion with Gen. Butler and his staff. Mr.
Whipple had with him samples of caps.
He says : " General Butler took a sam
ple in his hand and came up to me and
asked me the price. I told him 1115 per
dozen, 5 per cent. off for cash in hand.—
The General said, " Now thequestion is
this, and we might as well talk it right
out—can you let us have six thousand at
your price, givin g my quartermaster ten
per cent. to di v ide round ?" I think these
are the exact words.

mistaken his man."- , -INew Haven (Conn.)

General Cochrane, on returning his
thanks to the convention, said :
Gentlemen : The duty of this conven
tion will be well performed in accordance
with the, vie'wa and wishes of the people
whom it represents, and in performing
this duty it will advance to a position that
must command universal applause.
We are here occupying a common
ground,.that of the broadest and most
catholic principles of democracy. We are
not tore for party but for our country.—
Three years ago, when the very life of
the nation was threatened, all patriots
dropped party and rallied to the support
of the country—but the hour is cowing;
indeed it has already arrived,, when the
rebellion will have disappeared forever;
and then it is that. a free people should
review the past, and erect the necessary.
safeguards against the vicissitudes and
dangers of the future. It is at such a
period you have assembled ; and, while
sustaining with all the vigor and strength
of a great people, actuated solely by a
love of country, our armies in the field t
you are about to. organize a great civir
party at home to proclaim and maintain,
at all hazards, the great and memorable
principles for which oar soldiers are so
valiantly fighting in the field. Thus, and
thus only,•can the people of the land en
joy the legitimate fruits of the sacrifices
they have made.
The rebellion must be effectually and
forever suppressed. The Union must be
preserved. We have not met here with a
view to indulge in any criticisms with a
vz;alsr in Treqlre_n_thA anizernmen%and wo.
are not here to throw any inspe maut in
the way of the march of our glorious arm
ies. God forbid !No delegate is here to
occupy any position unworthy of the
broadest patnotism in the breast of a true
American citizen.
He saw before him men who in days
gone by maintained essentially different
views on the question of slavery, but
events have so shaped themselves with
regard to that and other great questions
within the past few years that all can now
stand upon common ground in regard to
it. The effect of the rebellion has been to
destroy slavery, and the last vestige of it
must be wiped away.
He alluded to the meeting of the War
Democratic State Committee at Syracuse,
characterized it:as an idle farce , a com
mittee without a constituency, and assur
ed the Convention that the War Dem
ocracy of New York are of sterner stuff
than to be swayed , or affected by a few
peddling politicians. .
While we proclaim all men. on this con
tinent free and equal, it is our duty to see
that such an assertion is litterally true.—
We must have close and untiring regard
for the civil rights of all, for if private
rights are not respected, public liberty
falls. Its basis is private and individual
freedom. Its method is through such
rights, and we therefore declare ourselves,
emphatically and unequivocally for pri
vate, municipal and public liberty. Never
upon any plea -or occasion can the
ngbts of the citizens be suffered to be un
warrantably invaded, and without due
process of law. Individual rights are
modified by law. Ii circumstances should
require the enforcement of martial •
all other considerations must succumb to
the necessity, but until then, they ,should
not be, they must not be infringed upon,
however specious the plea. Law is the
reflex of order. Order is of God, and its
sanctity must be kept inviolate. When
thUtis stricken down, then goes with it
our institutions.
Immediately connected with these
rights is the " freedom of the press," and
the Administration or the man who
would aim a blow at it is guilty of a crime
but little less • guilty than he who is a
traitor to the cause of his country.
General Cochrane then alinded to the
" right of asylum," ' and declared it to be
a principle'of which'every true American,
citizenought to be proud. The refugee
from . the despotism of the old - world is
welcome to: our shores and is presumed
to be innocent of crime until he is ►roved
guilty under the lain of the free country
in which he seeks an asylum form appro.
GendsVCoebrane, in eonchulion, spoke
at some length in eulogy of the Monroe
doctrine, saying that when we have got
through with the rebellion . , as' we -shall
We de, we will prove to the world that
we have still 14 to us vier and. will
enough to preserve the American *nada
gentfree from the pollatin' g tread of' tbe
myrmidons of foreign, powers. -
General Cochrane was. enthusiastically
cheered during the delivery of his speech,
and resumed his seat amid a Storm of
aPPlau".

Aihreeyears , ag,o,what;Tores called the
PensotylvpniaViesetr Corp, constituted a
body of ; men - ihom the Keystone State
'was justly proud. At an hoar of great
peril—kt a time when the fate of the Re
public qiiiyered in the uncertain balance
of war—Reserves went forth, fifteen thous
and strong, and in that period of solicitude
and uncertainty, they reanimated the fail
ing hopes and almost panicize4 2 iralo,
the country. For three years they par
ticipated in every battle-fought by the
Aamy of the Potomac, : In the front con
star: tly, they were ever where danger and
death were ever present. As their ranks
were decimated, the very flower_ of the
young manhood of the State volunteered
to preserve their maximum strength, hi ,
that 'instead of fifteen, we may safely
write that at 'A4'300,000 men were absorb
ed, as 5,009, from time to time, were add
ed to the ,regiments forming the Reserves.
The State of Pennsylvania centered her
pride in this organization, not that she
loved the soldiers composing its regi
ments any more than she did the brave
men mustered ; In her other military or
ganizatione, but Because the Reserves to
a greater degree represented the valor
and the military vigor of the State. But
alas for all this valor and vigor !
Where are they now 1 Where, are the
brows for whom our virgins were so late
ly twining the laurel wreath ? Where
are the stalwart men who stood in serried
lines on so many well fought battle-fields ?
We looked at, least for a_ remnant of them,
weeks ago, to return to their homes on
the clear expiration of their term of en
listment. But where are these our breth
ren now ? Echo amid the booming of
cannon, the groansef the dying, the
shrieks of the wounded and the curses of
the captured, answer wuzur k ? The Re
serves perished on the late sanguinary
field where Grant struck, his giant blow
for freedom. On the Rapidan and the
Po, the , pride and glory of Pennsylvania
found graves. Of all that proud host,
scarcely a thousand men are left, and thus
the Reserves filled_ the time so sternly
allotted to them by the Government--and
forevermore, they will be unable to con
tend with any foe. They closed their last
fight in a glorious death. For them the
spirit-stirring drum and the shrill fife, will
henceforth have no animating .sound.—
For them the mothers, and wives and
sweet-hearts, with loving welcomes on
their lips , will gaze into the -broad
,road
which leads home in vain. The virgin
sitai• i ivveeping with ' her wreath of glory
withered in her hands ; and the fragrant
bads with which she had hoped to wreath
the brow of her hero, are now scattered,
faded to the memory, of the dead ! We
do not complain. God maintain our loy
alty, in this the hour of our overwhelm
ing sadness! But who will dare to pre•
vent us from writing that stern was the
authority which construed the duty of the
Reserves—cold was the order which con
signed our weary heroes—our battle
worn brothers to their graves, before we
could fold them to our bosoms and their
- sisters pPt6L slast rervent kiss upon their

about by mere party management ; and
that the persons most concerned in it are
